The Science Alliance
The Science Alliance was an educational television show which was produced and broadcast by TVOntario in 1981-82. The hosts were Rex Hagon and Judy Haladay. The typical episode would feature the hosts demonstrating various aspect of the subject of the episode. In addition, a largely unseen narrator named Bryant would interrupt at pertinent points with a vignette called "Bryant's Giants of Science" which would tell the story of a figure in the history of science and their contribution to scientific knowledge.
